![]() ![]() Upon arriving they find Superman with a strange thing attached to his chest and the alien super-villain Mongul, a being as powerful as Superman himself. The story starts with Batman, Robin (the short lived Jason Todd version) and Wonder Woman arriving at Superman’s Fortress of Solitude for his birthday. It’s a testament that what was essentially a one-off story done by Moore as a bit of fun and to help pay the bills still remains one of the finest Superman stories ever, not to mention it’s been the spring that a lot of lesser talents than Moore have drawn upon for inspiration but this is a fine example of how to do superheroes that have been around for decades in an updated way without making them ‘dark’ or ‘gritty’. In the second of my very, very occasional retrospectives of classic comics I take my beady eye and cast it upon Superman Annual #11 from 1985 containing Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons For The Man Who Has Everything. ![]()
